VASP Tutorial: A bit of surface scienceUniversity of Vienna,Faculty of Physics and Center for Computational Materials science ,Vienna, AustriaSetting up a VASP calculationVASP requires 4 input files to run a calculation: INCAR POSCAR KPOINTS POTCARI: The INCAR fileThe INCAR file contains the input parameters that steer the calculation: The default values set by VASP itself are a clever choice for moststandard calculations These standard settings may be modified to specify: What kind of calculation you want to do:SCF calculation, DOS, dielectric properties, .. Basic inputs concering the required precision, the requestedlevel of convergence, ..For a list of all INCAR-tags have a look at: The VASP manual: : The VASP wiki: : :INCARII: The POSCAR filefcc: NiHeader(comment) scaling (s)of atomic type(s)1 Number of atoms(of each type)Selective Dynamics(optional: selective dynamics)CartesianCartesian or Direct coordinates00 0 (T T T)positions of theatomsIn the POSCAR file you specify the structure (Bravaislattice and basis):III: The KPOINTS fileAutomaticmeshHeader(comment)0Nk=0:au tomatic mesh generationG (M) -centered(G) mesh or Monkhorst-Pack (M) grid4 4 4#of subdivisions along 0.
